I realise that they have been up for a week or so now, but I don't think anyone actually posted that there are a bunch of new screen shots of AROS on the new website:
Screen Shots Here!!! (http://www.aros.org/pictures/screenshots/)
sorry if you've already seen them, but they do look really good :-D
-EDIT-
Um, I guess this follows in the current trend of Useless Posts... Sorry :-D
-
Good morniiing !!!
;-) ;-) :-) :-D
-
Oddly enough I was wandering around the AROS site yesterday....
Is AROS really worth using ? Or is it still only at 'curiousity' level ?
I'm particularly interested in the Native Version...
-Jar.

The Kitty window is quite cool! :-)

Hmm, good question... I find it useful, as I can boot a machine up at work (takes about 20seconds) and then play games. Then I can reboot and go back in the stinky WinNT4 (which is locked so than nothing can be installed, though this is not too dificult to get around :-D ).
But most of you will probably find it a curiousity, at least until we get a TCP/IP stack for Internet/networking.
I think it's quite pretty to look at too. so I often just leave it running on my machine when people come around, and get a few bemused looks from them (many of whome had an Amiga many years ago).

Off Topic I know... but where can I get those Win32 Amiga pointers from?
BTW where the hell do you live to be able to aford a (lovely clear blue :-D) Pool and a (snoty :-D) little girl (I had better not show my girl friend or she will want both!!!)
-
The pointers are downloadable on my site, under software, you must have missed the link. :-)
She is no longer snotty, was born with glue ear - two operations later - snot free.
One day I'll get around to fixing the pool, internal renovations are taking priority... I'm in NW Kent, on the M25 border.
-Jar.

hmmm, I need my eyes tested :-(

Awww, the poor little mite!!! I hope shes all better now. I had a friend born with Glue ear, he couldn't hear a thing as a child.

Ahh Kent... ok. I'd like to get out of the smoky city :-/ I've just moved from Fitzroy Square (next to the BT tower) out to Chiswick which is much nicer.

Very nice new AROS web site!!
-
Do you have any news about that tcp/ip stack?
I couldn't agree with you more...that and a native development environment would make it truly a competitor.
I looked at the site, its just amazing to see how they made steady progress year after year, and have come so far....just a bit more to go!
good luck

There is currently nobody working on a tcp/ip stack! there has been attempts of porting AmiTCP (dead since last year) and then someone tried porting lwip (dead since i cant remember) on a more positive note Martin Blom has started porting AHI so sound should be comming our way.
-
Yeah, I have to admit, AROS is SO trick. I've been following you guys since around 2000 and you never cease to amaze me. :-o
Sux about the TCP/IP stack, though. Wish I could help, but I don't know dick about coding. Wish you all the best, though.
So, uh, when are we gonna see a HDD bootable version?? :-D

I'm talking with an installer. =^P I like computers and all, but I am *NOT* an uber-user. LOL I'd rather draw or paint something than have to fix a bloody computer. :-D I saw their hard drive install notes once...it looked like chinese....wait...I speak chinese...maybe it wasn't so hard after all?? ;-)

I thought Roadshow was planned for Aros? If so, it won't be available untill AOS4 is out. If Roadshow is anticipated, that would explain why everyone's holding off on TCP/IP.

Correct me if im wrong, but, the new TCP/IP stack done for AmigaO4 i think was done by Olaf Barthel and was done by porting the original BSD sources...
If you'r looking for easily portable stack source, maybe that would be a good place to start?
If it compiles for AmigaOS4, there could be a good change of it compiling under AROS without modification, but you'd prolly know more about that then me :).

I believe that AmiTCP has now been chosen as the basis... I'm not sure as I don't get involved with such matters regarding TCP/IP.
But work has begun of finanly getting it to work.

cant ya rip FBSD's TCP/IP stack? or what

from my experience with AROS the new screenshots are frustrating. I've burned 2 CDs with different nightly builds, and it won't complete boot. in one it froze to CLI, in another it froze on black screen. I've downloaded 4 different nightly build floppy images, and they keep untaring on workbench screen over and over...
the only version i was able to boot was the latest snapshot floppy which is WAY TOO OLD for the amount of progress you've made. so my question:
When can I expect a new (tested and solid) snapshot?
